Don't know anything about the figures themselves, just know there are Swedes in their catalog.

If I hadn't gove with the 15mm route and had chosen 28mm instead I'd most definately choose Eagle figures for the Russo-Swedish War of 1808.

They are simply superior to the other ranges.

Bicorne figures are rally quite rough sculpts and wear the 1810 uniform so the figures can't be used in 1808. They are also noticeably larger than regular 28mms.

Minifigs figures are OKish, but a tad on the smaller size (perhaps even true 25mm). IIRC the poses are also somewhat stiff.


When doing Finns, you'll need to convert some units like Savo(laks) jaegers (I've been suing French leger for this) as well as both cavalry units (especially the Nyland/Uusimaa dragoons).

One day, when I get my lazy heinie finally to do something about it there'll also be reviews of other scales than 15mm

Does anyone have photos of painted figures from either the Eagle or Bicorne Swedish ranges?
